Today’s guest is Stefanie LeJeunesse, who was diagnosed at 39 with stage IV lobular metastatic breast cancer.  She is reading her piece titled “My Jiminy Cricket” from Wildfire Magazine’s April/May 2021 “Grief & Acceptance” issue. It is a story that is on the one hand a eulogy and on the other hand asks some pretty big questions about the cancer experience.  Experience with cancer friendships, talking about death, writing eulogies to honor the ones we lose, and the need to make space to really acknowledge that being in the breast cancer community means facing loss. We are going to hear a story about cancer friends - the ones that walked the cancer path before us, and sometimes forge on into death before us as well.
